Dion Waiters said he will meet with Jim Boeheim as he serves out his 10-game suspension with the Miami Heat.

“I just wanted to come up and talk to Coach. I know that’s a person who will always be there for me if I ever need anything. It’s a chance for me to come up, be around, talk to the coaches, things like that," said Waiters, who plans on working out with the Syracuse team.

Waiters added that he was in a good mental state. 

“I’m not going to lie to you, I’m in a great place. I can only control what I can control at the end of the day, so some things you just can’t allow to take your head the other way, some things happen for a reason. If you stay locked in, if you believe and trust in yourself, trust in the work you put in, you know, it’s a minor setback. It happens. It’s life. You learn from it. The only thing I can do is move forward. Stay focused. Stay even-keeled. Let everything else take care of itself.”

The Miami Heat suspended Dion Waiters for 10 games due to "conduct detrimental to the team."

The suspension comes on the heels of Waiters suffering a panic attack after ingesting an edible on the team plane.

Shams Charania of The Athletic added that the team believes Waiters was given the edible by a teammate, but Waiters refuses to name who.

According to Bobby Marks of ESPN, the 10-game suspension will cost Waiters $834,483. Waiters will also miss out on a $1.2 million games bonus.

John Collins has received a 25-game suspension from the NBA for testing positive for Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2 (GHRP-2).

Collins will work with the NBPA on an appeal, but the suspension will begin immediately.

Wilson Chandler and Deandre Ayton have also tested positive for PEDs this calendar year.

Kevin Porter Jr. has been suspended one game without pay for improperly making contact with a game official.

The incident occurred at the conclusion of the third quarter of the Cavaliers’ 131-111 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 3 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
